Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a bowl mix your sugar cookie dough, butter, and egg until combined.
Add in 1 tablespoon holiday sprinkles.
Roll the dough into balls.
Place one dough ball in each muffin cup and use your fingers to spread the dough up the sides to form a cup
Bake until lightly browned 10-12 minutes.
Remove cookie cups from the oven and while still hot use a spoon or little shot glass to press down the middle of the cookie cups, reforming the cup shape.
Let cool the cookie cups cool completely.
While the cookie cups are cooling, make the cheesecake filling.
In your stand mixer add the cream cheese and whip the cream cheese until fluffy.
In a separate bowl mix the pudding mix and 2 cups of milk.

Spoon the cheesecake filling into a ziploc bag or into a pastry bag. Cut off the tip of the bag.
Fill cookie cups with cheesecake filling.
